WA I'm sorry and to the Ones I offended!
I have been doing, even more, thinking lately, and I realized there's something, okay maybe a few things I don't like about myself!
1.) I am very stubborn, especially when I have certain beliefs
2.) I have been put down so much growing up, that I can get defensive easily (Hate that one!)
3.) I am very prideful! I have a hard time asking for help! I always figure that I know best, so I can do this on my own!
Like a snake shedding its skin, WA has helped me to slowly shed or even chip away at my insecurities, vulnerabilities, and so many of my faults! In fact I had to have a well-deserved time-out for awhile!
WA is an amazing community, with amazing people, and they are family! And, like all families, not everyone will get along, or see eye to eye, but that's okay! It's what we do about it that can sometimes be not okay!
We are a safe community, who are all shooting for the same goal, and we may have different ways we see of getting there! Our ways may not all be the same! But that's the great thing about community and family! Everyone has something to bring to the table! If you don't always agree, we can agree to disagree, and move on (no hard feelings).
On this note I would like to thanks WA for being the community it is, and to apologize to the ones I have offended! You know who you are!
I wish everyone much success with the greatest program out there! WEALTHY AFFILIATE!

That's the feature of a strong person, Terry- to apologize first, regardless of who was to blame.
I am glad you are here again.I love the way you think and write.
Good luck!:)

HUGS
Always a better way

I know you were standing up for what you felt was right and not trying to start any trouble! It is very generous of you to apologize. You are taking the high road.
We all have issues, Terry, some are more blatant than others. I think we should all be entitled to having a "moment", just as long as it doesn't last too long.
There's a difference between saying the wrong thing with hate or disrespect, and with saying the wrong things out of defense.
I encourage you to still write from the heart...just proceed with caution. And no matter what you do, maintain true to your authentic self.
I'm in your corner, gurl.

You are right, the community here is really awesome! It helped me grow, too... and that's the most important thing...

You're welcome, Terry! I'm sure you heard this originally Latin proverb "One for all, all for one". That is the majority of the WA community. We are her for you! You need help: Don't feel shy or too proud to ask! As Don (donyutuc) below said: We have great things to accomplish!
Enjoy your Sunday!

Welcome back, Ms. Terry! Let's stay above the fray. We have great things to accomplish. Focus on the sun and we won't see our shadows.
You're one classy act to apologize. None necessary. Your good heart dictated it I know. Welcome back!
Cheers!
Don
Thank you very much Don! :) I decided to help people less, and write little tiny posts business related only, and focus on my blogs, and myself for awhile! :) I know I can be and do this the right way! :0 sorry little off...had stress induced seizures thin morning..just a couple..like mini strokes, so I promise to do everything right! I am sooo sorry for everything!! :) Thanks for being my friend Don! :)
I even quit school to do this! I'll succeed and so will everyone else!!..we are winners!
Great attitude! You're a much bigger person than most of us. You're a trailblazer.
As Dr. Laura likes to say, "Now go do the right thing!"
Cheers!

Wow, awesome post. I can't believe I haven't followed you sooner. I believe that am a little over 10 years older than you but from your first statements, we are very much the same.
I am stubborn in my beliefs, but don't believe that is always such a bad thing. We do not just jump on the band wagon in order to be like everyone else! There is no need to apologize for staying true to yourself.
I don't know if I would consider this being "put down" but I was never, and still isn't, encouraged or supported in what I pursue by family and friends outside of Wealthy Affiliate. I have always resented that but, on the other hand, see it as being encouraging. When told I can't do something, I try even hard to prove them wrong. It makes me a stronger person, I work even harder to achieve my dream, and I usually succeed!
Asking for help is hard for me as well. Outside of Wealthy Affiliate, I would rather just do it my way because my way is best LOL. I tend to lean more upon the members at WA for help, but only after I know that I have tried to find the help I need on my own without much success.
I too see Wealthy Affiliate, not only as a business, a career move, or learning opportunity, it is community of like minded people who care about each other and build meaningful friendships along the way.
Although you have never offended me personally, I see your humble apology as admirable. It truly shows the kindness and respect you have for others that lies within your heart!
I am happy to see you have taken yourself out of your "time out". I think we all need to take a step back and get a grip on who we are, why we do the things we do, and how it affect others, while staying true to ourselves.
Well done my new friend, well done!
Wow!! Thanks you very much for your long comment! It means a lot to me! :) We sound a lot alike!! I am following you back as well!! :)
It was pretty "windy" wasn't it? Now if I could just write content on my website as easily :).
Seriously Terry, great post, why did it leave then come back?
no I liked your comment a lot! :)
I had no idea it went away, and came back again, but someone else pointed that out as well!!
